Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, mustard, celery seeds and remaining pinch salt and set aside.
Combine corn and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain well.
Return corn to the saucepan and add bell pepper, jalapeno and vinegar mixture.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender and most liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
